Deutsche Welle is reporting today that scientists behind the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine have yet to be added to German priority list for vaccinations. European Union approved the vaccine this week and started vaccinations (https://www.dw.com/en/biontech-ceo-the-science-we-did-was-important/a-56032805)
Why are you legally not allowed to take the vaccine?
You know, there is a priority list. It is not allowed to take the vaccine outside that priority list. What is also important: we were even not allowed to participate in clinical trials, because by law it is not possible to include people from the company in such trials, which is fine. But now we face the challenge of making sure that our company is able to function, and I believe we will find a legal and fair solution for that.
Would not be nice to keep them healthy? Just in case that we need to produce more of the vaccine or change the vaccine to some new strain of coronavirus. I would like to say thank you to the scientists. Let us ask German Minister of Health, Jens Spahn, and Chancellor, Angela Merkel, to place them on priority list. German politicians are on social media, @BMG_Bund, @jensspahn and can understand your message regardless of language. #vaccinateinventors
